Water Quality Sample

[karoly0829]

Hi All,

Quick question. I'm looking to bring a water sample to Love the Reef tomorrow later in the day but I leave for work in the morning. If I take my water sample from the tank at 7am and won't test until 4-5pm, will this still provide an accurate reading?

It'll be fine, I send water sample to California then to Germany from there and water quality is the same.

They may need to warm it up for sg reading but that takes 2 mins in a float. Should be ok.

Like others have said should be fine. People mail water samples out for ICP testing all the time.

I happen to know they use the spin test and will do Hanna test for phosphate/nitrate if requested
